LAND WAS LONG UNEXPLORED
Tasmantans for Centuries Unaffected
by Influences to Which Other Abo
riginals Were Subjected.
Probably the best Illustration of on
Is'nnd population unaffected by out
side Influences was afforded by the
Tasmaninn aboriginals. They wan
dered from the mainland In-fore the
sea (Bass Ftraits) -ut the Fpeck off,
It may be that the aborigines cut off
were not disturbed by an outside in
fusion until the arrival of Tasman
end he did not get on speaking terms
v.ith them. The Frenchman, Marion
had an argument with them, and
couple of natives were killed before
It concluded. Furneaux and Cook
also had some slight Intercourse with
ihese blacks. Labilardiere saw n good
deal of them. He reported that in a
party of 40 there were eight men and
seven women. The .rest were chl
dren. In another party 4S strong
there were 10 men and 14 women
which shows that the families had
n good average number of children
When the island was colonized the
native population, on the most rell
able estimates, ranged from 4,000 to
7.000. There Is nothing to show that
the tribes fought much against each
other until the white man pushed
some of them off particular hunting
grounds on to preserves of other
tubes. Anyway, If they did fight they
couldn't have done much damage.
The spear, their best weapon, was
only a pointed stick. They had no
spear-thrower to give It extra .force,
and two black fellows might throw
pears at one another all day without
a hit not that the aim would be bad
but that the target would not be there
when the missile arrived.
